Technology is here to stay in our world, and we need to embrace it in our classrooms. Here’s an article with some tips for teachers who use technology-or actually who teach students how to use technology. 🙂

This includes my actual lesson plan template that has to be turned into administration AND my resources.

I like being able to type up my lesson plans in the format that I want and not having to fit it into a particular box which is why I opted not to use any of the lesson planning websites.

As for resources, I looked at live binders (it’s just not my cup of tea), Pinterest isn’t file friendly, and educlipper-although visually pretty- didn’t cut it for me either.

SO- Evernote it is!

Here’s a screenshot of my lesson plan inside a note in Evernote:

I copied and pasted the text from my word document template into an Evernote note. It went all whacky with my boxes, so just the text got copied. Then I inserted tables in Evernote to separate my subjects.

I FINALLY figured out how to duplicate the note so I can just use the same template over and over like I was doing with my Microsoft word template.

I’m so excited! Now if I want to make a change to my lesson plan, I don’t have to have my laptop. Sweet!!!!

I won’t admit how long it took me to research and play around with it today to get it figured out. Because then you would think I’m stupid. And I like making y’all think I’m smart. 🙂

Now for the fun part- working on some notebooks in Evernote for my resources!!

Remember how my last post said I was tired and just couldn’t crank out a long post? Well, guess what? 🙂

It’s not that I’m tired-it’s that I have PROCRASTINATED once again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just finished cooking supper, hubby doesn’t leave for work for another hour, and I HAVE NOT DONE MY LESSON PLANS OR GRADED PAPERS YET! Just shoot me. Well, maybe not. 🙂

So this is the deal. I’m just gonna share my evernote notebook with you that has all of my messy notes that I took at Edcamp yesterday. If I can figure out how to do that within this blog post. If you see the link, then you’ll know it worked. If you don’t see the link, then you’ll know it didn’t. 🙂

Oh, and you have to have evernote on your device to be able to view the notebook. I think. 🙂

Hopefully you can view this mess! 🙂 And I think (if I understand correctly) that you don’t have to be logged into evernote to view??!!!??? It would be lovely if someone would send me a comment about that. 🙂
